Sunsets make good maps. Rich

(laugh)...hey this is nice, Rich. thanks

don't think I'd ever have thot of using sunsets like this!! that's the benefit of a site like this--I can't keep up with all the creative ideas that I want to try

I overcompensated on sharpening my surfers photo using the jpeg optimizing wizard.

Twidder,

You can always use blur effects to help an image. I did a little adjustment with Mystical Tint, Tone & Color. I haven't found anything that optimizes an image that well. I seem to lose the crispness.

You need to crop your images to remove the white space. You can use blur and sharpen with scans effectively.

yes, I'm aware of the blur--this it what happened: using psp jpeg optimizer wizard--I was following the window in the wizard (of course). becuz of what I saw there I put in some extra sharpen. BUT, when I uploaded here that's when the overcompensation showed and it was too late. it's not the first time that what I see on my program and what uploads here it different.

I was rushing much to get these uploaded so it just didn't occur to me to crop. but that's exactly what I said to myself when I saw my post--

oh, I should have cropped the corner

A map from a duck's foot. I'll add this to my orange series.

I need to edit my post at times. Mostly spelling. There is a limited time to do that. Probably can edit the images as well. After that editing can be performed by a moderator.

I especially have a problem with the Canon files since I don't get a thumb view in Explorer.
